Eva,
Unfortunately converting Type56 back is probably the most
complicated. I would start by opening the *.b17 in TRNBuild for
Trnsys17 then make sure that the solar radiation connections are all
set to "external by another component" (hint: double click on each
orientation to see the way that it is set). I would then save the
*.b17 file.
Next, open a *.bui file in TRNBuild for Trnsys16, then open the
same file in TRNBuild for Trnsys17. Save a copy of the *.bui each
time so that you end up with something like:
myBuilding_v16.bui
myBuilding_v17.b17
these are both text files so you can open them with a text-compare
tool (like CompareIt - http://www.grigsoft.com/wincmp3.htm). You'll
quickly see the syntax changes that are required when moving from a
v16 *.bui to a v17 *.b17. You'll have to manually make those changes
in reverse to take the *.b17 that you actually care about back down
to v16.
the rest of the project is going to be a little easier. Here, I
would start by opening the *.tpf in Studio v17 and writing the
*.dck. Then open Studio v16 and select File: Import Trnsys Input
File and point to the *.dck that you just created. This process does
its best but is not 100%. Its not that it always fails, its just
that the *.tpf has a lot more information in it than is written to
the *.dck (line colors, paths, comments, etc.) These cannot be
exported/imported.
I'm sorry the process is so complicated.

David,
thank you for your response.
In my simulation, I use only Type56 (building model), Type155 (call
to matlab) and Type15 (weather file). The most important for me is
to convert the building model (Type56), the others are not so
crucial.
Thank you very much.
Best,
Eva

Eva,
The simple answer is that there is not a way to run a Trnsys17
model in Trnsys16. However, as is often true with TRNSYS, there
might be some ways that you could do it anyway. There are a number
of things to consider and I can offer some suggestions if you can
give me some more details about your simulation:
1. does it use Type56?
2. are you using any non standard components (such as the TESS
Libs, Transsolar components, or components that you wrote) and if
so, do you know whether they were written using the Trnsys16 or
the Trnsys17 coding standard?
Kind regards,
David

Dear all,
some time ago, I used to use Trnsys17 (and created some models in
it) and now, I would like to open and run those models in
Trnsys16_1. However, I am still getting some errors trying to
open the models (originally built in Trnsys17) in Trnsys16_1. Is
there any way how to avoid the problems (maybe saving them in
Trn17 version as files compatible with the older Trn16)?
Thank you for some hints in advance!
Best,
Eva
